Tier 2 extension before ILR application?

Hello,

Both myself (Tier 2 main) and my wife (Tier-2 dependent) have the same 5 years Tier-2 visa (same start date 09/01/14 and end date 08/02/19). I had arrived in the UK right after the start date, i.e. 09/01/14, however, my wife arrived one month after me, i.e., 15/02/14. We are considering to apply ILR, my case should be clear. However, my wife should be qualified to apply ILR by 15/02/19 which means her visa is actually expired for few days.

Should my wife apply Visa extension just for few days, while I (main Tier 2) am in the process to apply ILR? or we can submit ILR together?

Thanks very much.

You can apply together. Residence period starts counting from visa issue date.
